The Tanner Report: Brighton 5 Fulham 0

This is always a difficult game for more ways than one. I watch it as Ivan’s guest which means I have to endure the barbs of Fulham fans walking in the opposite direction to the away end and suffer the critique of Seagulls fans who thought little of our performance. Interestingly enough [...]

A la Colthard /La Petite Maison

In many ways La Petite Maison runs counter to so many of my theories. It’s the most fashionable restaurant in Nice with a branch in Brooks Mews Mayfair but it is not up itself. The welcome was offhand with a refusal to sit out outside but the service very good with a cheeky waiter. It’s [...]

The Masters

Normally when I post on the golfing weekend I’m pretty confident that any error on the US PGA or European tour will not be noticed as there is not that much coverage. However with Danny Willett adorning the green jacket, the first Briton for 20 years so to do, it’s front page news. This [...]

Nice 3 Rennes 0

It was very kind of Michel di Vacri to organise a trip to the Allianz Riviera stadium to see the key clash between Nice lying sixth and Rennes fourth but only one point spearmint them. The third Champions League place is up for grabs with Olympique Lyon second and Monaco currently third also in the [...]

Freya/Anthony Quinn

I  discovered Anthony Quinn a few years ago when he wrote a first rate novel Half the Human Race about a depressed Edwardian cricketer. I very much enjoyed too Curtain Call a novel set between the wars in bohemian and theatrical London. At the heart of the novel is a relationship between society [...]

An evening with Ted Dexter

When Bob Tickler called me to say he was having  dinner with Ted Dexter in Nice and would I like to join them I virtually set off for Gatwick straightway. Ted Dexter: the debonair, swashbuckling batsman that put the West Indian attack of Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith to the sword for an [...]

The Tanner report: Preston 1 Fulham 2

It does not seem to matter who the manager is or the regime but over the 50-odd years I have followed Fulham we invariably finish the season well. In most seasons we need to. Last night’s victory at Preston gave us 44 points and a cushion of 7 points as all the other results went our way. Two [...]

Shell Houston Open and Masters countdown

Steve Williams who has caddied the victor of 15 Majors has written a controversial book in which he refers to Tiger Woods treating him like a slave. He is back on the bag of Adam Scott this Thursday at Augusta, controversially so as the Aussie has won two USPGA events already with a different caddy [...]

A Good Read…is it?

When I first started writing for the Rust I was concerned whether there was a sisterhood advocating feminist values and was pleasantly surprised that Jane Shillingford and others do not bang the drum of woman’s rights. Feminism reigns at the BBC. Sue McGregor is a brilliant presenter, it [...]

Brighton 2 Burnley 2

Walking in the Lanes of Brighton in the morning, I bumped into the manager of a restaurant I patronise. We discussed the game at which point a fellow, head down walking past, muttered ” it will be 2-2″ . I foolishly ignored his prediction as I had advised Pargie it would be a goalless [...]
